My Vcar Is Having Serious Hard Starting Problems by ib4babes(op): 3:31pm On Feb 11, 2017
Please i need help, my car car was not having stress of starting till sometime last week. i changed the crankshaft oil seal, meaning the engine was brought down for the first time since i started using the car for almost 6years now. after the seal replacement i went to wash off the engine and my car ended up sleeping in the car wash over night because the car wash guy messed me up with the water all over the car engine and virtually all the socket filled with water, in fact i had to change the plugs and now my car is having serious problems starting, i mean real hard starting. please what should i do? Its an Infinity QX4 2002/3 Model, VQ35

Next time, clean it with diesel... It's not as expensive as the car wash, I say diesel... Don't use petrol oo

Did you replace with the right plugs? Except the starter has been damaged I believe it should throw error codes (soon).

VQ35, one coil per cylinder, remove all coils, have them cleaned, remove spark plugs, have them all cleaned, clean harness of throttle body and airflow meter. Should fix the problem.

ok, but i have already replaced the plugs and before then i cleaned the coils. Maybe i'll have to do that again when i get home in a weeks time. Then i will get back to the house.
